The Death of Life

You picked the knife and held it high…
Said sorry ...then sliced and incised
You were forgiven for the pain you incurred…
But what about the trust you said you will abide..?

Now the question you ask your own self…
What made you cling to the demon and why..?
Was it you or someone else in disguise..
Or have you changed into the devil…that you thought will remain inside?

Are you in control of yourself...and the one that you concealed…?
Or have the concealed gained the power to subjugate… now that master has gone weak..
You remember you believed you were in hold…
Inside and outside..everything you controlled…
Now the beast you tamed...has overhauled…
And has successfully claimed the power it always sought…

Things once done can’t be retraced back dear…
So now you have lost me…the relationship has gotten seared…
You have betrayed yourself…now hide where ever you can…
I think I am crying…on your deeds..
your life’s end you yourself have reared...

In The Midst Of Life..We Are All Dead..

Do you wish to last..the sip of the time..
forever for you...till eternity divine..?
Are you too in love..with this life indued..
And do you care to care for it..Do you??..
And if I ask you.."Why..this love so trenched..??"..
Would you repeal my thoughts..inanely quenched..??..
Can you guide me to the end..of this labyrinthine riddle..
I have tried but failed..to disentangle this abhorrent puzzle..
That how can there be life..in the midst of the deathly troubles..??..

We live to see the sun..everyday and so on..
"Will it rise tomorrow..??.."..the possibility if any is unknown..
Still we sleep with the dream of tomorrow..
and night conceals the thoughts within our eyes..eluding all the sorrows..!..
and then with the emanating rays..we rise with gleaming eyes..
With the promise to succeed..Now we live by choice..
And so we draw the life..to move forward and far..
To fetch it to the success..only until the night befalls..!..
And once again the banal mind..is delved with the very same puzzle..
That how can there be life..in the midst of the deathly troubles..??..

So yes..there is life that lives in peace..and the death too lies amidst in ease..
There is profusion on the way..and then the abjection surmounts..!..
Every one happens to be happy..and still grapples with the fear that mounts..
Still the lives persist..as no worse can happen for real!..
We wake up..we live..we strive..and we persevere..
The idea of LIVING enamors the avaricious mind..
that even the capricious thought of the end..seems like mere lying!..

Perhaps we are in love.. with this speciously innocuous witch..
And consequently fail to see all those gaps in which....
We fall freely..and keep falling the free fall..
And delude ourselves with the idea..that we are stable..and nothing is going wrong.!
For the LOVE IS BLIND and DEMANDS NO RETURNS..
We let her play the chants..she bewitches us with her magical wand..
And only when out of tedium..she decides to let us free..
That we realise that life was nothing but a fictitious rainbow of false glee..!..
And till then..the so called LIFE moves on..the 'Way We Want It To be..!..'
And the vicious game of LOVE is being played..with zeal..and merrily....

Perhaps that is how we live..amongst the DARKNESS so dark and intense..
that nothing is visible..and we deludes it with NOTHINGNESS..!
So without fear..we march..holding the ignorance's hand..
With confidence and enthusiasm..we rule our blissful land!..

I am not sure if that is true..but I surely am willing to know..
That how can the world which seems so happy..can turn gloomy in a moment's go..
That how can there be suffering and pain..together with the celebrations..?
How can poor die of hunger..where people suffer from acute corpulence..??..
I have tried but failed..to disentangle this abhorrent puzzle..
That how can there be life..in the midst of the deathly troubles..??..
